SUPER BASS EXTREME

VICOUSTIC - SUPER BASS EXTREME

Optimized for corner mounting, Super  Bass Extreme’s elegant wooden  front is based on Vicoustic’s flagship Wave Wood panel. This is combined  with a membrane, two high-density  foam layers and a micro-perforated  rear panel, with 1mm holes, that acts as a Helmholtz  resonator. Designed to provide effective low frequency absorption  between 60-125  Hz, it delivers maximum effectiveness between 75 -100Hz. The wooden front panel has two functions, providing sufficient mid-high frequency absorption to control corner reflections without deadening the sound, while simultaneously acting as a diffuser.

When porous materials such as foam are applied to corners or walls, they become less efficient in dealing with low frequencies, because the particle velocity or air movement  associated with long wavelengths   is low. However, the sound pressure  is at its maximum.   Super Bass Extreme’s internal membrane  transforms this high pressure  by converting the pressure fluctuations  into air motion. The membrane  sympathetically  vibrates over a frequency range of 75-90 Hz, causing the air to pass through  a layer of high-density foam that absorbs the low frequencies. Because of the high pressure it has also been possible to introduce a further technique for aiding absorption, with the micro-perforated panel at the back of the unit acting  as a tuned Helmholtz resonator. Tests actually showed the perforations to give 20% more efficiency, compared to using a non-perforated  panel.

Super  Bass Extreme  is highly recommended for smaller rooms with low frequency issues. The panel can be used in different corner positions and its modular structure allows further units to be added as required. With an eye to interior design compatibility, Super  Bass Extreme is available in five elegant

wood  finishes that match Vicoustic’s range of Wave Wood panels.
